I'm not an arborist by any stretch but check out Corona saws.I have a folding one and two that are fixed.One of those is 21",and the other is 23".I use them for clearing trails here.They are great saws and cut fast.The non folding types have wood handles like a carpenter's saw.If you get one of those,Loctite the screws.I have had them come loose.Still,great saws.

Silky is the best hands down in my opinion. Just get your preferred sized, all silkys are top notch piece of kit.

I have a Silky Gomboy and love it. Can't believe how fast it cuts.

My brother is a tree trimmer out of the local union hall. He has a Silky hanging from his belt. He says they are crazy sharp.

I like them Corona saws, cut fast and lite.

Tough to beat Silky. Size the teeth to the job you are doing. If you have a saw with extra-large teeth and try to cut water sprouts on fruit trees or other small suckers they will tend to hack and tear more than one with smaller teeth.

Silky or really top end if you can get hold of them Felco. Felco also makes the best pruning sheers on the planet. Expensive to buy but you'll only ever need one per lifetime as you can get the springs and blades as spares for cheap. I have the one with the roller bearing in the bottom handle. Had it for over 20 years and it got a lot of use when I lived on a vineyards in the canaries.
